MEASURING AND DISPENSING DEVICE.

tus shown in I MEASURING AND DISPENSING DEVICE.

To all whom it may concern: I Be it known that I, cums E. Moonn, a. citizen of the United States, residing at Spokane, in the county of Spokane and State of Washington,-have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Measuring and Dispensing Devices',-of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to -measur ing and dispensing-fdevices portablev on the end of a supply hose and capable of being directed to supply the tank or oil reservoirs of an auto to supply a predetermined quantity of liquid. i

It is a feature of my invention to use the pressure of an oil pump or reservoir to op erate the device of my the ends in. mind, and this invention consists in providing a fluid tank with a movable piston therein, pipes communicating into either end of the piston and joining with the'supply pipe, a fluid pump or reservoir, and a means consisting of a delivery type connecting with the cylinder to provide ,a predetermined exact amount of fluid.

I have in mind the cipally in supplying oils for engine use, or for supplying gas or other liquids in exact amounts. 7

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a side elevation of myapparaconnection with a fragment 0 a supply hose" or pipe. v

Fig. 2 is an end. elevation illustrating partly in section the movable piston within the cylinder and a means for adjusting and limiting the movement of said iston;

In the embodiment of the invention as illustrated in the drawing, the numeral 1 indicates a supply hose of the common type which is usually attached to gasolene and oil pumps. 2 is a short length of pipe connecting the hose 1 and carrying liquid to a two way able handle 4 manner that will from the two-way branch pipes 5 and 6 connecting into the ends 7 and 8 of the cylinder 9. Within the cylinder and movable from end to end is a piston 10 closely engaging the walls and provided with packing members or gasket memfor directing the flow in a be brought out. Leading bers 11 to effect a tight joint and prevent a I flow of liquid from one s1de to the other. Upon the cylinder end 7 is an outstanding Specification of Letters'l'atent.

to hold and'place pressure upon the .packmg 14 to make a perfectly tight joint with theadjusting stem 15. This stem which is movable within the gland is provided with a threaded outer end 16 terminating in a nut or head 17. A look nut 18 may be used to hold the parts against movement when an has been effected.

ply of fluid from the source and by manipulation of the valve handle 4 the fluid may be directed into one end of the cylinder or the other, as may be desired. When the valve is so disposed the opposite branch pipe will have open. communication through the valve 19, thus as fluid is with the delivery pipe the force will move forced into the cylinder the piston forward and cause theliquid contained within the cylinder to be forced out through the delivery pipe. When the cylinder is filled and the .piston moved by the fluid to the farther end, a reverse movement of the valvehandle will cause the piston to be reversed pushing ahead of it the contained therein. This through one of the in the valve pipe 19. A

liquid will branch pipes, member and out pass up througha bypass the delivery reversal of thehandle will drive the contents in the cylinder, forth in the same manner and place a fresh supply on the other s1de.

If the cylinder or a limited supply is desired,

the movement of the piston to provide the exact amount of fluid desired.

I have designed the present construction specially for use in supplying automobiles with cylinder oil or gas and find that the device works equally well bottles with any liquid contents in the exact quantities I desired.

A feature of my invention which is of importance,

be registered inaccurately ity can not effect or cause an improper supply of fluid as would be the case werethe cylinder disposed in a vertical position, and I find also that in addition to securing an accurate delivery that the same power or force from a pump will operate on either side of the cylinder exactly the same.
